We have a five year residency here. If we go to the hospital in Calis does anyone know if the treatment there is cheaper. What sort of treatments does it give? We have only ever used the Letoon or Esnaf. We were well treated at both, no complaints.Just asking because of costs really.

Currently waiting to see if our Emergency/Accident Insurance, taken out through Baris, is going to pay out - had read the warning previously posted some time ago by Crabbit, but we already had the insurance by then. Unfortunately this insurance is now being put to the test!!!
Will post the answer once we know, however Baris is not the easiest person to get hold of!! Not holding our breath!

Maybe they can be shamed into toeing the line (Baris).

This Baris insurance sounds very unreliable. I will make enquiries at Yapi.

The public hospital (devlet) in Calis is quite a bit cheaper than the Esnaf/Letoon.The service is good and the majority of doctors speak at least some English.The last time I was there they were trying to organise a translation service but dont know if it has now been set up.

An update to our post of 6th June - I have been paid in full, via Baris, by the insurance company for the Accident/Emergency claim that I made. Although it was sometimes difficult to get hold of Baris whilst awaiting the outcome, when I did speak to him he was very helpful. My claim was settled in under 3 weeks and basically the insurance company did "what it said on the can!"

We attended a meeting in Ovacik at the residents association last year concerning having an insurance for health care with Baris. Another meeting was arranged for people who would be interested. We went to the bar at the arranged time and Baris and the bar owner seemed to have a disagreement so it was called off.Baris told us to go into his office to open up insurance with him. We went to his office, he was not available and our Turkish is limited so we could not get a lot of information off his receptionist. We have not been able to make any arrangements with him concerning the insurance and if he is difficult to find what use would one be anyway.
